Is there any way for procmail to deliver to a computed or dynamically

The lack of loops in the procmailrc "language" makes "no" the obvious
answer, but I thought there might be a trick the assembled experts know.

The question is not clear but I try to highlight some points:

    We want the message stay in the "filter-step" as short as possible!
    for this reason we do not want to run loops and other programming
    tricks.  So, if you need something complicated, do pipe the message to
    script with background  commands:

In the script:
...
(Lot of commands to be run in background ...) &
exit


    Sending the command to background and exit will disconnect your program
     from the mailing process.

    The disadvantage of this way is that procmail will never know the real exit status
    of the job.
